Join hosts Andrea Brower and Keone Kealoha this Friday, October 3rd, noon - 1pm on KKCR (91.9FM or online at kkcr.org) when we talk RE:Localization with Relocalization Network Manager Asher Miller. The Relocalization Network was created in 2003 as one of the first initiatives of Post Carbon Institute. It developed as a response to individuals' questions about how they could take action to address the implications of peak oil. They found that the most effective strategies are initiated at the community level. For this reason, Post Carbon Institute decided that establishing a network of Local Post Carbon Groups was the best way to provide concerned individuals with the support and resources necessary to coordinate effective action.

The Relocalization Network is now composed of nearly 150 Local Post Carbon Groups from all over the world that are working to prepare their communities for an energy constrained future. These groups operate autonomously, while receiving guidance, educational resources, project and technical support and electronic infrastructure from Post Carbon Institute.

2008 Hawaiʻi Futures Summit: Foundations for Tomorrow
October 3 & 4 at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa

Participants at this year's Summit will have the opportunity to work on issues such as reimagining transportation in Honolulu or moving beyond oil and biofuels to map out the cutting-edge energy systems that Hawai'i will build in the years ahead. Working through some of the possibilities that are out there, participants will explore what these things may mean for Hawai'i as a whole as well as map out what they could mean for their own organizations.

A featured speaker will be Michael Shellenberger, whose article "The Death of Environmentalism", shocked the environmental movement and whose new book "Break Through" further explores the need for an entirely new politics concerning the future. The event will include original scenarios about the future of Hawai'i, action maps linking community issues to new solutions and possibilities, personal plans that map out new strategies and next steps, and the opportunity to meet and work with professional futurists and local thought leaders
